Upload one large picture that you think represents this era in American history.
Explain what makes the picture a good example of The Great Depression.
There should be different photos and explanations for each group member on the wiki page.
Note: The collection has two sections: color and black and white. Each section has its own search page, although the collections can be searched together. It is usually better to search each section separately since the subject terms for the two groups of photographs were assigned at different times and used different conventions.
The color section has a subject index that will list images under the subject heading, African Americans.
The black and white section does not have this subject term. To find items, students must brainstorm other words for African American and use the Search by Keyword function. The keyword negro will find 100 'hits' in the section.
